While Votes Were Being Counted, Tesla Released a Tequila

Amidst the chaos of last week’s election, Elon Musk began selling Tesla-branded Tequila online. Check out the bottle design:

Unlike Musk’s hocking of flamethrowers, which were simply rebadged roofing torches, the Tesla Tequila is legit: It’s “an exclusive, small-batch premium 100% de agave tequila añejo made from sustainably sourced highland and lowland agaves,” produced by Nosotros Tequila.

Despite the $250-a-pop price tag, the entire batch sold out within minutes of being posted online. And as you’d expect, the bottles are now being sold–empty–on eBay for up to $1,200.

What I really want to know is: Who designed that bottle, and what is the base made out of? The website says only that the glass is hand-blown. Do you reckon the base is real metal, or plastic?
